Fat pork belly ruined Jeju island tourism?
According to Korean media reports, the number of South Koreans traveling to Jeju Island has decreased sharply recently, partly due to the recent uproar of the "Jeju Island Fat Pork Belly Slaughtering Incident".
On the 29th of last month, South Korean netizen A uploaded a post titled "I can't sleep so angry (don't go to Jeju Island)" on the online forum "Baby Dream".
A said that he had lived on Jeju Island for a year, and the day before he and his sister who had come to Jeju Island for a trip to Jeju Island to dine at a famous Jeju black pork restaurant, he was "slaughtered with fat pork belly". It is reported that the restaurant is an Internet celebrity restaurant that often comes to artists to shoot programs, and it is also a safe restaurant designated by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Animal Food.
A said that he and his sister had ordered meat for four people, and he was surprised when the staff brought the meat because each piece of pork belly was more than 98% fat. In this regard, A asked the staff, but the answer was: "This level of lean meat is enough." Although A asked for a change, the clerk just brought the meat to the kitchen, and then took it back as it was, saying, "There is no problem with the meat." ”
A and his sister were forced to eat pork belly with a very high fat content, and the fat meat cost him 147,000 won.

A attached a photo of the fatty pork belly he took in the post, and wrote: "I originally wanted to ask the owner of the restaurant for an explanation, but the boss was not there, and the fat meat cost me about 150,000 won, which is really speechless", "I saw a lot of customers who had the same experience as me in the reviews of the store, probably because this is a scenic spot, and most customers will only come once, so they do business with a conscience."
Under A's post, other netizens hugged him: "What did I think it was? I was shocked when I saw the photo", "I want to apologize for being from Jeju", "It looks like it was specially used to wipe the baking sheet......
Under the heated discussion of netizens, A's post became more and more popular, and was even reposted on other online forums. Finally, the owner of the restaurant where A dined apologized in an online forum.
The owner of the restaurant said, "Regardless of the circumstances, reasons, and facts at the time, I apologized for the dissatisfaction of the customers who provided pork belly with a large proportion of fat," and "I regretted that if I had been in the restaurant at the time, the situation would have been different, but in the end, the staff's poor response was also representative of me."
"I am very sorry that many people who are self-employed in Jeju Island have suffered direct or indirect losses as a result of this incident," said "I would like to make a few promises to improve your impression of Jeju Island." First of all, if the customer contacts us, we will compensate them to the maximum extent, secondly, we will give 200 grams of free pork belly to all customers who come to the restaurant for the next month, and finally, we will provide Jeju black pork or products to the places in need."
"I hope you can calmly confirm how we have done business during this time and whether the restaurant has improved. We only use first-grade Jeju black pigs, and I hope you must know that Jeju Island only sells high-quality pork", "Although I had a small grievance when I first learned about it, I realized the problem after seeing more people's reactions and comments. I'm sure we're going to be a better restaurant than we are now, and we're fully prepared for that, and I promise you that."
Under this apology post, a netizen suspected to be A replied. The netizen said that the restaurant owner had different attitudes, and he was not asking for compensation, but just hoped that the restaurant owner would not make money with a clear conscience.
Regarding the "Jeju Island Fat Pork Belly Slaughtering Incident", Jeju Governor Oh Yee-hoon said at a panel discussion with the press corps, "We will start inspections through the health department to ensure that such problems do not occur again, but we must also take into account that there may be differences in food culture itself." ”
In this regard, Korean netizens ridiculed: "Ah, yes, yes, yes, we Jeju people only eat fatty meat (we are mocking)", "Don't fart, Jeju people will also scold that kind of pork belly", "Crazy, what kind of food culture differences, is Jeju no longer part of the Republic of Korea, is it the Republic of Jeju", "As a governor, I am doing a favor, just apologize and rectify it, what kind of food culture do you say", "I know, it doesn't match your Jeju food culture, I will definitely not go"......
Affected by this incident, many netizens with similar experiences also began to expose Jeju Black Pork Restaurant.
Recently, South Korean netizen B uploaded a post titled "I was also terrorized by a black pig on Jeju Island".
Mr. B said, "Since Jeju Island fat has become a topic, then I will also talk about the fact that I spent money on fat meat in Jeju Island in April this year", "At first, I thought it was eel, and I spent so much money, but I was very alarmed that I only gave fat meat", "Before grilling, I asked the staff, 'There is too much fat, can I change other parts?', but he said, 'The meat that comes in every day is the same, and it can't be changed', so he just roasted it for me", "I still have to spend money to eat this kind of fat, is it too much".
B said that because the trip was his parents' sixtieth trip, he didn't want to make a big noise and affect his mood, so he thought he would leave a bad review for the store, but the comment was also deleted by the store......
B said that the restaurant he dined at was not the same as A, and the name of the restaurant could not be disclosed.
Netizen C also posted that after ordering the "butterfly meat" recommended on the menu of a famous restaurant in Jeju Island, the meat served was like a fat block, and the lean meat had to be found in the fat gap, which made him angry.
At present, South Korea seems to have set off a "fat pork belly slaughtering me too movement", many netizens have uploaded their own victimization cases and photos, and the location has also spread from Jeju Island to Daegu, Busan and other areas.
